A Texas father is calling for the dismissal of a school principal after materials related to Islam, including Sharia pamphlets and hijabs, were distributed to students in connection with World Hijab Day.

The controversy centers on activities that took place at the school following World Hijab Day, which fell on a Sunday. According to the father, events unfolded the following Monday that he believes were intentional and premeditated.

Speaking publicly about the situation, the father accused the school’s leadership of promoting Islam in what he described as a Christian nation.

"America is a Christian nation. The principal one year ago, the principal, on the same day, World Hijab Day, wore that hijab and said she loved it, all caps. One year to the day later on, World Hijab Day, Sunday, Monday hits. They're putting our girls in Sharia. They're passing out Sharia pamphlets, hijabs, Qurans, understanding Islam, understanding Sharia, treating Sharia, treats half of this room like [expletive] and these women are not [expletive]. This is not a Muslim nation. This is a Christian nation."

The father alleged that the principal’s actions were deliberate and not the result of isolated decisions by lower-level staff members.

"That principal knew what she was doing, and I am not believing that was one or two people at that front desk. Fire the principal."

He also criticized the school’s communication with parents, claiming administrators advised parents not to rely on online sources for information while students themselves were influenced by online materials.

"You tell these you tell the parents don't go online to get information. But what did they get online? Marco told the truth, that's where they got the information, and you did online, telling us not to go there."

The father described the distribution of Islamic materials as religious proselytizing.

"This was dawah, Muslim proselytizing. Dawah, it's like me as a Christian going into a school and witnessing to these kids. You want me to do that? Let's go."

WATCH:

World Hijab Day is observed annually on February 1 and is intended to encourage understanding of the Islamic headscarf.

According to the father, the principal had previously worn a hijab on the same day one year earlier and expressed support for it publicly.

The father’s remarks reflect growing tensions among some parents over how religious topics are addressed in public schools.

He maintains that the distribution of Sharia-related pamphlets and Qurans crossed a line and is calling for administrative accountability.

As of now, no official statement from the school district addressing his specific claims was included in his remarks.

The father continues to press for the principal’s removal, stating that the events surrounding World Hijab Day were not accidental and that leadership should be held responsible.
